Optical Media for Sound or Other Recording (Excluding Group 882 Products)

Yes — blank optical discs, including certain CD-R and DVD-R products, have been subject to antidumping duty orders covering imports from specific countries. Importers must check the current status of applicable orders with the US Department of Commerce and CBP, as scope, rates, and revocation status change over time.

Pre-recorded optical media (e.g., commercially pressed CDs or DVDs with music or film content) fall under SITC Group 882, while blank or recordable optical media are classified here under 89844. This distinction affects both the applicable duty treatment and whether copyright-related levies or licensing considerations apply.
